interesting to see a hybrid badge on a GS460, i would of thought you'd go black pearl badging, but cool anyways. just hope your hybrid badge doesn't go peeling off, i've see those badges go left and right working at a lexus dealer

when you login as a club lexus user it gets down to 135.00

if it was a g i woulda never busted out a sander!!!! rofl.
Naw it wasn't on Sewell Parts this was my local Dealership that charged me that and they assured me it wasn't the pre-crash they actually showed me both of them. So the price I got is correct. My real question is does anyone know if I would need to replace the gril for this thing to actually fit!

im just sayin i got 2 quotes from dealers who swore it was the blue emblem and had a 1000 list price. i dug deeper and found the only emblem selling for 1000.00 is the pre-crash emblem. my blue emblem was 130 and the trunk was 120. i got them from sewell...

Normally, I'm annoyed by this kind of thing but in this case it really just seems to me like the OP liked the blue badge and went for it. What really gets under my skin is people who refer to their USDM 240SX as a Silvia or badge it Silvia. Lexus GS as Aristo, etc...

there is no way your comparison of a AMG stands up to logic. putting AMG on a car that isnt an AMG is flat out lying. my car is a 460 it says 460. a fake amg says amg and is only a 500sl. i could even understand putting 460 on a 350 is wack... by doing that you are lying. it looks the same so lay people would not know the difference. very much like a fake rolex watch. im not pretending my car costs 30k more than it does! or even that it gets 4 more MPG!!!

get it through your thick skull man jeez...
We don't have to agree so don't tell me to get it through my thick skull. A hybrid-exclusive emblem belongs on a hybrid period but like I have said, it's your money, your car. Good job making it work but the blue L emblem just doesn't belong on non-hybrid Lexus vehicles in my opinion.

This is your logic: "putting AMG (hybrid) emblem on a car that isn't an AMG (a hybrid) is flat out lying. it looks the same so lay people would not know the difference. very much like a fake rolex watch."

i think it looks nice - its like putting a red H logo back in the days on the preludes.. and integras.. even tho integras were "technically" acura -- people weren't hating on those -- it's not like they were J-spec acuras from Japan..

stop hating and let people do what they wanna do. i think its dope and great job on it

Actually it was rice b/c Red Honda logos went on their "Type-R" vehicles which were their top of the line models. Ricers started slapping Red H/A badges on all their non-type R cars after.

interesting choice to put a hybrid badge on non hybrid car, just be aware some hybrid badges are defective and start peeling away

I feel the same way. This dude's girlfriend I know bragged about her boyfriends "Skyline" and I tried to tell her it was a G35 but he went and bought Skyline letters and replaced the trunk INFINITI with SKYLINE. What a fake.

Regarding this emblem....I'm a little indifferent about the whole thing. I can see both sides but in the end I give props to this guy for performing a clean install.
